Conditions of the Contract of Sale

1) Ibn ‘Umar reported Allah’s Messenger (Sall Allah-o-alaihe wa sallam) as saying: “Both parties in a business transaction have the right to rescind it so long as they have not separated, except in transactions which have been made subject to the right of parties to rescind them.

Ibn ‘Umar reported Allah’s Messenger (Sall Allah-o-alaihe wa sallam) as saying: When two persons enter into a transaction, each of them has the right to rescind it so long as they are not separated and are together (at the place of transaction); or if one gives the other the right (to annul the transaction).

2) Yahya, the son of Jarir, reported: I heared Abu Dhara who men­tioned Abu Huraira saying that Allah’s Messenger (Sall Allah-o-alaihe wa sallam) said: “Two persons entering into a contract, should not separate from each other but with mutual consent.”
